Your Nervous System and Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic Care is a science, art and philosophy of health care that focuses on the body's neuromuscular system. The chiropractor is concerned with how well your body's nervous system is functioning. Your brain is your body's computer and the nervous system is the wiring, which carries all the information to and from the brain. Your spine is the main pathway for your central nervous system.
That is why the chiropractor is trained to use a variety of techniques to diagnose the primary condition and treat that condition appropriately. If there is a block anywhere along the pathway of the nervous system, subluxation, the chiropractor can find it and remove it to help you maintain a strong healthy nervous system.

Structural imbalances in the body can range from twisting an ankle or arthritis, to disturbing of nerve signals which exit and enter the spinal column on their way to the brain. Since nerves travel to all the tissues, organs and cells and control most of the body's function, disturbed nerve signals can cause a wide range of health problems.

Your nervous system is the key to your feeling well
Your nervous system includes your brain, spinal cord and the network of peripheral nerves that exit and enter your spine. Your body's 100 trillion cells, biochemical reactions, organs, glands and tissues are under the control of your nervous system and is responsible for maintaining balance. Chiropractic Care is intimately involved in keeping your nervous system communicating at its best.

Your spine is the lifeline to the rest of your body
The brain is housed within the skull. Similarly the spinal cord is housed within the spine, which itself is made up of 24 movable bony structures known as vertebrae. Openings within these vertebrae exit the peripheral nerves that carry the signals from your brain to all the various parts of your body.

Vertebral subluxation and how does it affect your feeling of wellness
Restricted motion or misalignments of the vertebral structures, known in Chiropractic Care as a vertebral subluxation, will interfere with the nerve signals which are conveying information between the brain and the rest of the body. Any interference of these nerve signals will compromise the normal function of the body parts served by these nerve signals.

Causes of vertebral subluxation.
Vertebral subluxations may be caused by any physical, nutritional, emotional or electromagnetic stress. Some examples of these stress factors include A slip or fall, An auto accident, Wrong diet, Bad posture, Prescription Medications, or Emotional upset.
